The walking skirt is # 209.
You might also want to look at 205 (Gibson Girl Blouse)
220 (Garden Party Dress)--I believe someone has already mentioned
this one
508 (Traveling Suit, WWI), which has quite a nice jacket

That almost-A-line skirt is a walking skirt, and Folkwear has a
lovely pattern. On my way out the door or I'd look up the
number...but of course it's on their website ....

Definitely NOT 1914-1916.
I once did a show during WWI (took place in England) and those
years are
actually kinda hard to pin down. The hobble skirt (think "My Fair
Lady") is on
the way out but the 1920's are not here yet...but showing a bit. I
learned
things still have a strict...sometimes boned....understructure but
basically
things are draped on this structure to look completely
Unstructured. There are
rarely darts to fit things but tucks and pleats (that release) are
everywhere
to give things a kinda unfitted shape. The narrow skirt of the
earlier times
is sometimes there, but also a wider, almost A line skirt is
present...and at
a slightly higher than ankle length. Blouses and skirts are all the
rage....as are "military" details on suits and coats, like
pleated patch pockets, big
buttons everywhere and even epaulettes on the shoulder.
